The Poston Community Alliance received a $77,701 grant from the National Park Service, Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program to restore the former Poston I Elementary School Library for future use as an exhibit space. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserve the historic structures at the Poston site, the Poston Community Alliance is required by the NPS to match their grant with funding of  $38,850. Please help us reach our goal of $38,850 before September 1, 2018  and preserve Poston's history. 2/18 Photo credit: Dianne Kiyomoto
